Intentions Cardigan

A lace design that is perfect for knitters wanting to try out lace for the first time. The fish tail lace gives this cardigan a romantic look. It’s warm and cozy with the lace allowing it to be wearable indoors and perfect for layering. The body is knit flat with a curved front neckline. Shoulders are seamed and sleeve stitches are picked up and knit in the round. A twisted ribbed neckline and front button band are picked up and knit flat. Two options for bottom edge.
